Sativa Cannabis Guide

People have cultivated Cannabis sativa throughout recorded history as a source of industrial fibre, seed oil, food, recreation, religious and spiritual dispositions, and medicine. Each portion of the plant is picked differently, depending on the function of its use. The species was initially classified by Carolus Linnaeus in 1753.

Cannabis sativa on average, has higher levels of CBD when compared with THC, whereas Cannabis indica has higher levels of THC to CBD. However, tremendous variability exists within either species. There are three chemotaxonomic types of Cannabis: one with high levels of THC, one which has higher levels of CBD and is more fibrous, and one that's an intermediate between the two.

Cannabis forms with comparatively high CBD:THC ratios are less likely to cause anxiety than vice versa. Sativa's consequences are well-known for its cerebral high, while indica is well known for its sedative effects which some prefer for night time use. Both kinds are used as medical cannabis. Indica plants are generally shorter and stockier than sativas. C. sativa have a dense and compact flower cluster and broader, deeply serrated leaves. The impacts of indicas are sedative and mainly physical.
